Anthropogenic disturbance regimes reduce biomass and alter floristic composition in montane forests of Kahuzi-Biega National Park, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
Montane forests of Kahuzi-Biega National Park (PNKB), located in the Albertine Rift, represent a major reservoir of biodiversity and carbon, yet they are increasingly affected by anthropogenic disturbances despite their protected status. This study assessed how anthropogenic disturbances are spatially organized and how they affect forest structure, aboveground biomass, floristic diversity, and community composition in the high-altitude montane fo…
Thirty-three years of land cover change analysis on Idjwi Island (DRC) using remote sensing and landscape metrics
Idjwi Island, in Lake Kivu, DRC, faces increased vulnerability to human activities due to its isolation. A 33-year study (1990–2023) analysed land cover changes using remote sensing, landscape metrics, and the Random Forest algorithm. Landsat images were georeferenced, corrected, and classified to assess these changes. Results showed dramatic deforestation, with forest cover dropping from 57.16 km2 (20.61%) in 1990 to 3.25 km2 (1.17%) in 2023, wi…
Protected area creation and its limited effect on deforestation
The Kiziba-Baluba hunting domain (KBHD) is located near the city of Lubumbashi. • The increasing human pressure induces forest cover loss within the KBHD. • Savanna, which extent in the landscape, constitutes the actual dominant land cover in the KBHD. • The establishment of the KBHD in an anthropized region failed to stop deforestation. The study examines the spatiotemporal dynamics of landscape anthropization in the Kiziba-Baluba Hunting Domain…
Diversity and availability of edible caterpillar host plants in the Luki biosphere reserve landscape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Edible caterpillars are an important food and economic resource for rural African people. However, they are subject to a number of threats; in particular, their host plants are threatened. The Luki Biosphere Reserve landscape is a region of the Democratic Republic of Congo where the practice of eating caterpillars is a recent phenomenon; however, rural communities have reported their scarcity. This study assessed the diversity and availability of…

Monitoring of anthropogenic effects on forest ecosystems within the municipality of Vallières in the Republic of Haiti from 1984 to 2019
The forest resources within the municipality of Vallières in the Republic of Haiti are subject to ever-increasing anthropogenic pressures, leading to a reduction in their area and the degradation of their ecosystem services. This study quantified the spatial pattern changes of forest ecosystems within the municipality of Vallières from 1984 to 2019 using a cartographic approach coupled with landscape metrics. The evolving trend in the landscape w…
Fire risk assessment, spatiotemporal clustering and hotspot analysis in the Luki biosphere reserve region, western DR Congo
This paper analyzes active fires from 2001 to 2019 in and around the Luki Biosphere Reserve , western DR Congo to assess fire risks. In this study, we used descriptive statistics to assess fire events, Getis-Ord G hotspot analysis to define the spatial patterns presented by the fire events. Diagnostics for spatiotemporal clustering of fires location and space-time interaction were assessed the spatiotemporal K function. MODIS data from 2001 to 20…
Dynamique de l’occupation du sol autour des sites miniers le long du gradient urbain-rural de la ville de Lubumbashi, RD Congo
Description du sujet. À Lubumbashi, la croissance spatiale urbaine rapide (plus de 5 % par an) et non planifiée concourt à des changements importants de l’occupation du sol, en particulier autour des sites miniers où de fortes concentrations de métaux lourds dans les sols présentent d’énormes conséquences environnementales et sanitaires. Objectifs. La présente étude vise à évaluer le processus d’anthropisation des paysages autour des sites minier…
Bonobo nest site selection and the importance of predictor scales in primate ecology
The role of spatial scale in ecological pattern formation such as the geographical distribution of species has been a major theme in research for decades. Much progress has been made on identifying spatial scales of habitat influence on species distribution. Generally, the effect of a predictor variable on a response is evaluated over multiple, discrete spatial scales to identify an optimal scale of influence. However, the idea to identify one op…
